Cool that you've confirmed that about the Mazdaspeed strut bar, I've always assumed that but could never confirm, I've got Cusco's F&R and its fine.. after it's in its no big deal about cutting.

Nice. How much was it again? I am thinking about getting the tools to make these babies and sell them along with the other stuff I am planning.

holy moly batman!

Maybe I can charge 230 lol

No in all fairness I don't know how much it would cost for me to make one like that which I have to admit looks like it was well designed.

Yeah, you're right about that. That bar looks way better than the ones where you have to cut huge holes. If you can make one for about $150 then I'd say go for it.

Yeah We are hopefully getting some funding this comming year but **** is bad down here and I am running the business off of my university pay check which is under 200 dollars per two weeks!

Other than that I just get some cash from selling **** on ebay every now and then.

But I am almost certain that if I fabed that up myself I could do it for less than 230. I think everyone agrees that Mazdaspeed charges a lot for their "name"

Considering ones from ebay cost $10, I'm sure you can make them for less than $230. The smartest thing is to not use overly expensive materials. Keep it simple to keep the costs down.
